10 Reviews for 5th Ave Bageltique Cafe
This place is ehh. Their service is blahhh over the phone so i can only imagine how they are in person. Everytime I order breakfast they ALWAYS manage to forget something, poor delivery guys who gets attitude from us because it's so frustrating. UGH I miss working in the city :(

I had time to kill and I needed some food, so I stopped in here for what ostensibly should be a staple on every deli's menu -- roast beef on a roll.
I don't ask for much for this kind of meal; all I want is a good sandwich and for you to leave me alone while I eat it (and read my college football preview -- Go Dawgs!) That said, they messed up the first part (the bread was stale-ish and the meat was all grey and not particularly flavorful) and the second part was affected greatly by the lack of air conditioning. I mean, if you're not going to have a/c (says the Southerner), at least have doors and fans going.
Otherwise it's like eating in a sauna. And that just makes everything sweaty and limp. And no one likes limp ... bread.
Great (and pretty much ONLY) place to go in the middle of the night or when you're coming home from a night out and trying to stave off a hangover.
I only get two things here: sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese or sesame bagel with sausage/egg/cheese. Both are pretty good, but then again, it would be pretty hard to screw them up.
I haven't seen any signs advertising the "'green tea sushi" for about a year now, so I think they finally got the idea that no one comes to a bagel joint looking for a sushi fix.

A place calling itself bageltique is like a boutique store calling itself boutigel.
I had what you call sexcellence at this place at 2am in the morning.
It was a Ham deluxe hero. It had the following: Lots of ham, Lots of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese. Crispy toasted hero but smooth juicy inside.
Can you dig it?
The place is like two pronged place, literally if you look from bird's eye. Two sets of table areas connected at the top by your faithful bagel kitchen, they serve up some sandwiches, all kinds of your usual bagels.
The funniest thing about that night was, it was 2, maybe 2:30am. The place is dead, we were coming from Union Hall. I was with two lovely ladies, and there was this beer belly old dude just sitting there at a table. He gives me a look, doing the raise eyebrow and point at the girls look. I was like, that's totally weird, but I acknowledged his effort to connect me and the girls together.
He starts talking to Jess, and when I went outside, Jess goes, "Oh that was my uncle".
I'm not sure what he was doing there at 2:30am. Not sure at all.
The ladies had tuna salad. I opted for that manly ham sandwich. The problem is I waited to eat it except one preview bite until I got home. I should have eaten everything then, because it got soggy as we waited for the train. Still tasted great though.

3 Stars for if you need food bad and it's 2am. We were walking up 5th Avenue desperately in search of food at around 2am. We settled on this place basically because it was this or Blue Ribbon and we just wanted a quick bite. They have many a sandwich to choose from all of which can be served on a bagel. They have many bagels. It satisfied my appetite, the atmosphere was bright and uninviting, but in desperate times, Bageltique is there for you.
We first went to Lighthouse looking for food (we ended up going after) but the bartender told us we could get food at Bageltique and could bring it in the bar to eat, so I would def. recommend that.

Excellent bagel with cream cheese and lox...not to mention they added on tomato and onion for me in just the right amounts. A wonderful slathering of cream cheese, and they definitely didn't skimp on the lox. Plus, they have the full line of Vitamin Waters, which is my secret addiction. Also grabbed bagels for friends and for family, everyone was overly satisfied. It's hard to compare bagel places in NY, because most of them are amazing, so I can't in full fairness give it 5 stars, but those were some darn good bagels!

24 hours - bagels - they get the basics RIGHT.
But...What the heck is up w/ sushi?(can anyone vouch for this?) Not to mention their recent, butt-nasty "renovation", which features GIANT photos of sushi on the walls, and other giant food stuff. Weird!

Specializing in delicious homemade bagels, fresh from the oven, the Bageltique is a 24-hour deli with a great selection of quality eats. If you're there after midnight, chances are good there'll be a NYPD cruiser or two parked out front, fueling up on coffee and sandwiches, lending more credence to the Bageltique's place as the premier late-night food supplier of Park Slope. Every time I'm in the neighborhood, I stop by for a tuna melt with muenster on a bagel and a half dozen bagels to go.
Man does this place rock. It has really weird fung shui and twelve different types of mashed potatoes (I'm not kidding -- you have to see it to believe it). I have yet to be charged the same price for the same food yet. I get the egg & Velveeta omelette, which usually lands me somewhere around $2.25. Just watch out for the ketchup -- it tastes like corn syrup.
